Somehow John Buscarino manages to coax a huge amount of power and presence out of his tops while also maintaining clarity and articulation—this gorgeous 17 Inch Archtop from 1994 exemplifies that with a silky setup to boot. AAA Quilted Maple back and sides paired with Spruce on top, a Benedetto humbucker with volume knob on the guard, and 25” scale for sweet, sweet trebles. This beauty has opened up handsomely in the almost three decades it’s been making music, and it’s set up for another three!
"Very simply, John Buscarino is one of the finest archtop makers in America. His craftsmanship makes for a tone that will clearly inspire any jazz player, and his instruments are built to last for a lifetime." - Paul Heumiller
